Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jewish people and countless others who were murdered in the Holocaust by the forces of hate and bigotry. Now more than ever, we cannot be silent in the face of evil. #NeverAgain

Tonight, I am thinking on gentleness. There are people I am worried about and worried for. For the moment, I can’t do anything tangible. But I can offer softness and comfort when I am able. I can be a firm, safe space.
